'The Revealor - Side A' is a tender commentary presented by the protagonist reaching the stage of recovery where he has accepted, forgiven and turned a corner to a happier & healthier future.
The talented Angela Power joins the band on this EP to provide backing vocals and piano, as well as some beautiful interludes between the songs.

"The music is rocking , with some bluesy influences. There is more positive and uplifting. It seems to be in a happier mood than at the time of the last , self-titled release from 2012 Still you'll find some inspiration in artists such as Neil Young and Queens of the Stoneage , but everything is made at a little happier way."

"GROUND LEVEL FALCONS is a 5-piece from the hockey city Edmonton, Canada. Stylewise I’d say they’re very much like R.E.M. with a garage band sound and a somewhat more punkish attitude. This is a 6 track album with a dry sound and production. Take the final track for example; “Light of day”. It’s an acoustic piece and actually sounds like they just hung a microphone in the ceiling and performed a one-take. However, the CD has got an honesty and a nerve that I like, which saves a 3 in grading."

"The Revealor Side A' is the follow-up to the self-titled full-length album from 2012. And that of course has its influence on the rich palette of sounds. With 'Light That Gasoline' Canadians pull straight hard leather. All rather we prefer to the more accessible 'Make It Out To Me', which is also immediately be assuming a lot of radio airplay. With modern arrangements is 'Top of the Mountain' perhaps our favorite track on the release. The tight percussion and unhinged guitar riffs are just a prelude to an understated 'The Revealor. The intimate 'Light of Day' the band somewhat surprised with heavenly beautiful acoustic arrangements. We look here now are all looking forward to the next album."

"I liked their previous self titled album from 2012 but the new EP is stronger, I have listened to it 3 days in a row now and I find new things in the music all the time. I´ve said it before but I can say it again, this band truly sounds like R.E.M meets Matthew Good. ...the spotlights are all on lead singer Matt Gardiner here. What a great voice he has."

"If their previous record was too much blues for some of you, I can say that the band left this path somehow. Not that they changed all the way, but their sound is a bit stronger, harder and makes me think of the Tragically Hip. But even with a harder sound and a new band member, the Ground Level Falcons, are surely something worth seeking out!"

"At the end of 2012 you could, on this page, already read a rave review of their debut self-titled album to the group . The six songs in 26 minutes turned alternative rock music , starting with the REM-like Guitar song "Light That Gasoline" where the powerful voice of singer Matt Gardiner is very similar to that of Michael Stipe. There is remarkably much melody detect in these songs, especially n the quieter but crescendo to a solid rock song growing "Make It Out to Me" and the same thing happens in the next "Top Of The Mountain". The band knows how to manage equally wonderfully in the quieter work shows the presented sensitive "Eyes Or Headlights?" and the final song acoustically transmitted "Light Of Day". All reins may be between, but it's completely cast off the album title track "The Revealor". Finally, the group does not know that "The Revealor - Side B" sits also in the pipeline and will be made . early next year Bring it on, boys."

“These six songs give a tantalizing taste of the music of the Ground Level Falcons. It is more rock based than folk, but there are ethereal dreamy moments that may be of interest to psyche fans. More often, it is solid rock music with some interesting passages. The guitar sound is thick and gnarly but (works) within the overall structure...I would like to see them live some time if they ever extensively tour from their base of Edmonton, Canada over in my direction.”
